Are you using piping to an external program for quarantining
( $spam_quarantine_method = 'pipe:...' ) ?  Seems like your external
program cannot be run. The exit 6 may come from it, but more likely
it is artificially produced by sub run_command in amavisd, as a
last resort after exec fails to start the external program and
returns to the caller.

Check your $spam_quarantine_method setting, make sure that
the program you specified there can be run. Or better, if possible,
choose some other quarantining method, either directly storing
to local files or sql, or sending by SMTP to some dedicated mailbox.
